Andrew Goodwin's Narrative Theory - Illustration

Andrew Goodwin believes that traditional narrative analyses do not comply for music videos. Instead, they are split up into 3 components, the first of which is Illustration. This is where the video tells the story of the lyrics.

An example of this is 'Hero by Enrique Iglesias'





This is an example of Illustration as it tells a story. As the video advances, the story continues, to attract and entice the audience, and to also feel emotionally involved. 




Here is an example of time passing, as the light has faded. There has also been a revolution in the couples relationship, which could show a difference in their relationship as the narrative continues. 

The video ends with the death of Enrique, which ends the story of their relationship.
